HIGHLIGHTS
STATINTL
1. On 28 May 1974 a member of thel
of Security was afforded a briefing on Computer Security.
2. The Intelligence Community policy paper on the release of
magnetic storage media was published and distributed within the
Community and internally within the Agency.
4. Plans were completed for.the Computer Security Seminar to
be held by the Information Systems Security Group during June -
July 1974.
5. The full-time assignment of a member of the Group to the
Badge Office was concluded, and an evaluation of the Central Badge
System (CENBAD) activities within the Badge Office was made. This
evaluation contained the opinion that CENBAD could be run within
the Badge Office and will benefit the Office of Security.
6. The After Hours Security Check of the OJCS software disconnect
facility was concluded. This survey included a supplemental check of
the terminals following improvement of security procedures in the
OJCS Time Sharing Computer System brought about as a result of the
initial survey. Security of remote terminals, in particular those
in non-secure areas, was considerably enhanced.

ANALYSIS
The number of new cases opened showed a significant reduction.
This decline was brought about by the transfers (without corresponding
replacements) of 'a number of personnel. This required a re-evaluation
of priorities and a closing out of pending cases prior to the
ac eptance of new. This realignment was further demonstrated by a
co responding reduction in cases pending at the end of the reporting
pe iod.
TR NDS
Personnel replacements are arriving and will continue to arrive
through July. Formal and on-the-job training of these new personnel
will occupy a good deal of time. New cases will increase slightly,
and the trend will be a gradual return to previous case load levels.

Trends and Highlights
May 1974
1. On 5 June, 43 military officers, soon to be assigned as
attaches in overseas embassies, were given a briefing on the hostile
opposition in the Headquarters Auditorium. The briefing covered
the threat from recruitment attempts by the opposition and from
hostile 0 operations. The officers are presently at the DefenseSTATI
Intelligence School attending the attache class 3-74.
2. Renovation and relocation of Logistics, Finance, Training,
and Personnel Branches was completed in May 1974.
3. On 28 May 1974, the Office of Security response to the
Program Call (Operating Plan 1975/Program Plan 1976) was submitted
to the Plans Staff of the Management and Services Directorate.
Prior to its submission, its content was completely coordinated
with program managers throughout the Office.
4. In late May, the proposed Office of Security objectives
for FY 1975/FY 1976 to be tracked at the Director and DD/M&S levels
were restudied in coordination with Office program managers. As a
result of this review, the DD/MSS-has been asked to approve a
substantial revision of these objectives in order to reduce their
number, improve their trackability, and make them more meaningful
and realistic.
5. Reprogramming of $110,000 from within the Office of Security
FY 1974 fund allocation to provide for reconfiguration of the
Security Duty Office/Command Center and Branch space
on the first floor of the Headquarters Building and update of
equipment was approved by the DD/M$S on 23 May. Additionally,
$220,000 of unobligated funds were made available to accommodate
unfunded requirements of other DD M&S components. The latest
injection of funds into thel funding mechanisms includes
approximately $125,000 surge funding from FY 1974 funds to provide
for FY 1975 expenses.
6. Office of Security obligations as of 31 May 1974 (91.7% of
the FY) totaled 91.9% of the FY 1974 allocation.

Trends and Highlights
May 1974
1. When compared to last year, the cumulative statistics suggest
a static situation in terms of increased work, leveling at about
13 percent.
1
2. Case Processing and Communications activities continue a
slow downward trend. Although still considerably less than a year
ago, Information Processing Check activities show a reversal toward
greater volume. Filing activities also show a slowing in its down-
ward trend.
1 3. In other activities, the volume of work remains high with
a slight indication of a downward trend. This applies to Indices,
Microfiche and Compartmented Information recordkeeping activities.
Computer Support activities continue to show an increase in volume,
attributable to the heavy purging of large groups of names to continue
for some months. Some 40,000 names were purged this month, dropping
the total number of names in the Office of Security Personnel Index
bellow the 1,900,000 level. A net decrease of 114,763 names has taken
place since the index peaked at 2,012,761 on 31 October 1973.
4. Monitoring of the SPECLE and SANCA terminals indicated
that the down-time for May was considerable--44 hours and 41 hours
respectively. In addition, the SANCA batch run was late more than
29 hours.
